General description

Our Samplers and Swab Test Kits simplify routine microbiological analysis of surfaces for bioburden levels of bacteria, yeast, or mold. This technique eliminates the cumbersome and expensive hardware and materials associated with traditional testing techniques. The Swab enables sampling in areas difficult to reach.
Our Samplers and Swab Test Kits simplify routine microbiological analysis of surfaces for bioburden levels of bacteria, yeast, or mold. This technique eliminates the cumbersome and expensive hardware and materials associated with traditional testing techniques. The Swab enables sampling in areas difficult to reach. The HPC Red Test Sampler contains m-HPC medium for recovery of aerobic bacteria, non-stressed as well as stressed.

Application

Microbiological analyses of environmental waters, cooling tower waters, process waters, laboratory grade and electronics waters, dialysis water, and food and beverage products.

Suitability

Total Count dip sampler test

Questions

  1. What is the used method (spread plate R2A agar method, membrane filtration method, or something else)?

    1 answer

    1. Please see the link below for more information on the HPC Total Count Samper and other product options. Each sampler is constructed to combine both an intimate contact of a 0.45 µm membrane filter to a nutrient pad, and the incorporation of an air vent on the upper back portion of the paddle. This configuration allows for the draw-through of 1 mL of sample to affix microorganisms to the filter surface for subsequent culturing within its transparent plastic case.
